I say this only now, because tons of people are losing their main chain Bitcoin because of being forced to use other wallet implementation like Electron cash, which has no reputation in Google thus its much harder to see a scam site. A lot of scam sites are making LOTS of money the past few days because people downloading corrupt versions of the software.
Also, it would be pretty trivial and minimum coding to actually do so. So, politically I get it, Electrum doesn't support BCC so they don't want to support it in their software. However, its kind of turning into a train wreck with normal electrum wallet users getting their coins stolen since they didn't download a proper version of "Electron."
Ledger and Trezor handled it ok.
Agreed.
Also - I don't think it's "free" money. The value of bicoin cash is being sucked out of the total BTC price, IMO. This amount needs to be preserved somehow to maintain your true bitcoin value. In fact, those selling it are speculating - not getting free money.
I don't see how one can compare bitcoin cash to DASH or LTC when you consider how much hashrate is behind it.
Electrum is wrong in not providing an easy avenue for value recovery, and I'm sure the pressure will mount on them as it did for Coinbase and Poloniex
